VISION The Seventh Army Joint Multinational Training Command (JMTC) uses innovative multinational (MN) training solutions to prepare forces to execute unified land operations (ULO) and contingencies in support of combatant commands (CCMDs), NATO, and other national requirements. The JMTC— a. Provides world-class training, this includes full domain integration, flexible and adaptive training support, and ULO-centered leader development. b. Builds MN capacity by supporting NATO and U.S. deployment requirements, developing and supporting MN training capacity, and providing expeditionary training capacity. c. Provides commanders, staffs, and units an operational experience that emphasizes unit readiness balanced with leader development. d. Increases unit readiness for deployment and warfighting. e. Produces bold, innovative leaders through stressful tactical and operational exercises. f. Teaches Army doctrine. g. Provides feedback to the Army and joint participants to improve warfighting.


5 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

h. Provides a data source for lessons learned to improve doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership, personnel education, and facilities, and to prepare for ULO. i. Provides instruction based on the most recent tactics, techniques, and procedures from across the force. 1-5. OBJECTIVES The JMRC will— a. Concentrate on a wartime mission-essential task list (METL) and combat operations as part of the Joint team. b. Train for ULO and decisive action missions including offense, defense, stability, and defense support of civil authorities. c. Stress realistic, sustained, multi-echelon, and fully integrated collective combat training for Army service component commands (ASCCs), brigade combat teams (BCTs), multifunctional support brigades, functional support brigades, division and corps headquarters, and operational headquarters training to fulfill missions as joint force land component commands or joint task forces. d. Provide performance-oriented training in a realistic tactical environment measured against established tasks, conditions, and standards. e. Support achieving and sustaining leader development and unit warfighting readiness using a combination of live, virtual, constructive (LVC) simulations. f. Enable commanders’ readiness assessment through live-fire, force-on-force, and computer simulated exercises that integrate all aspects of lethal and nonlethal effects, tailored to the operating environment (OE), from platoon to corps level, based on unit warfighting and combat training center (CTC) capabilities. g. Include instrumented urban operations training experience during rotations. h. Incorporate reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (RSOI) operations, regeneration, and deployment training. i. Fully integrate decisive action. j. Execute mission-rehearsal exercises (MREs) for brigades and below and mission-readiness exercises (MRXs) for divisions and above, as required. k. Incorporate MN partners into training environments. 1-6. GUIDANCE During a fixed site CTC experience, commanders will train with the equipment they would expect to take to war, to the fullest extent possible. During an exportable training capability (ETC) experience, commanders may have to train with fewer resources than they may deploy with; however, the ETC will train whatever capability the unit has available. To provide a realistic training environment, the JMTC will— a. Provide an environment in which rotational unit commanders can train to established standards (for example, METL, combined arms training strategy, approved training guidance).


6 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

b. Replicate (not duplicate) the OE of the theater to which the unit will likely deploy. c. Conduct doctrinally based after-action reviews (AARs) centered on observed performance that enables Soldiers and leaders to discover for themselves what happened, why it happened, and how to sustain strengths and overcome weaknesses. d. Stress all warfighting functions in decisive air-ground ULO where both lethal and nonlethal solutions could be employed. e. Provide a free-thinking, capabilities-based, opposing force (OPFOR) with an equal chance to win. f. Develop tactical- or operational-level-of-war scenarios that do not assure the outcome and that promote initiative-oriented warfighting skills for commanders. g. Ensure consequences of military decisions are fully played out. h. Dedicate a portion of the rotation to retraining those tasks that the commander deems essential for the unit to increase proficiency. Retraining is not an indication of failure. 1-7. RIGOR In coordination with the training unit, the JMTC will ensure the appropriate type and quantity of personnel and equipment are aligned with the training objectives throughout the planning cycle. The JMRC will— a. Replicate (not duplicate) the contemporary operating environment (COE) of any theater approved by the senior trainer. b. Conduct doctrinally based AARs centered on observed performance that enables Soldiers and leaders to discover for themselves what happened, why it happened, and how to sustain strengths and improve weaknesses. c. Stress all warfighting functions in decisive air-ground ULO where both lethal and nonlethal solutions could be employed. d. Provide a free-thinking, capabilities-based, OPFOR. e. Develop tactical scenarios where the outcome is not assured. f. In accordance with the exercise director’s guidance, ensure the consequences of tactical decisions are fully played out. g. Retrain to reinforce the unit’s adherence to standards and mastery of the task. Retraining is not an indication of failure. 1-8. JOINT CONTEXT OF TRAINING The JMTC will provide Joint context that applies to the unit’s training objectives. The JMTC will have a persistent capability to link to Joint national training capability (JNTC) events; however, operational requirements and scheduling conflicts may preclude this linkage for some rotations. Regardless of linkage to a JNTC event, the JMTC will provide the correct Joint context for training across all warfighting functions to ensure that leaders, Soldiers, and units are ready to operate in a Joint environment and understand the interdependencies shared by Army forces and other components of the Joint team. The goal is to improve Joint interoperability by using the capabilities provided by an integrated LVC training environment. The JNTC’s elements of Joint context are as follows:


7 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

a. Coherent ULO. b. Joint tactics, techniques, and procedures. c. Joint doctrine. d. Joint exercise control for joint tasks. e. Live and simulated forces to support joint tasks. f. Joint event analyses. g. Joint training and experiment objectives. h. OPFOR planning and integration. i. Scenario support. j. Joint command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. 1-9. END STATE The USAREUR CTC program provides Title 10 units (USAREUR combat, functional, and multifunctional brigades) with realistic LVC training from all facets of the JMTC’s training resources to validate the unit’s ability to support major theater operations. The JMTC’s training resources include the JMRC, the Joint Multinational Simulation Center (JMSC), the Training Support Activity Europe (TSAE), the Combined Arms Training Center (CATC), the maneuver coordination area (MCA), and Grafenwöhr Training Area (GTA) range operations. Allied and coalition partners are incorporated into the CTC program to build partner capacity and prepare, assess, validate, or certify units as directed. 1-10. COMBAT TRAINING CENTER PROGRAM—EUROPE The USAREUR CTC Program is executed through the JMTC. JMTC’s subordinate elements include the JMRC (referred to as the maneuver combat training center (MCTC) or fixed CTC site), the JMSC, the CATC, and the TSAE. The JMRC provides an ETC that can execute live force-on-force maneuver training at designated training locations worldwide. a. The JMRC supports the JMTC by providing a world-wide expeditionary training center that trains leaders, staffs, units up to brigade combat teams, and MN partners to dominate when conducting ULO. The JMRC supports ULO training through simultaneous offensive, defensive, and stability operations to prevent or deter conflict, prevail in war, and create the conditions for favorable conflict resolution. The JMRC supports the building of a unified action partner capacity through an enhanced leader training program, media and engagement skills training, joint interagency intergovernmental MN training, counter-improvised explosive device training, and situational training exercises to better prepare leaders, staffs, and units. The JMRC also supports partnership capacity through the expansion of other European CTC programs by training NATO and other MN forces to support ULO. Finally, JMRC continues to support European and CONUS-based units deploying in support of the NATO-led Resolute Support mission by maintaining the emphasis on assisting the Afghan National Security Forces. The JMRC strives to ensure that USAREUR leaders, staffs, units, and partner nations (PNs) are versatile, expeditionary, agile, lethal, sustainable, and interoperable. Units leave the JMRC capable of successfully executing ULO against an array of threats anywhere in the world.

b. The JMSC provides and enables mission command training at all echelons through the integration of established training environments (live, virtual, constructive – gaming (LVC-G)), which enable commanders to accomplish training objectives. The JMSC adapts to a continuously changing environment while maintaining a pre-eminent role in mission command training, incorporating technical innovations to provide Service-specific, Joint, interagency, and MN capabilities at home and across the USEUCOM area of responsibility. The JMSC operates from the hub at the GTA with spokes at Kaiserslautern, Baumholder, and Vicenza as well as remote locations as required. c. The CATC provides individual institutional training for USAREUR Soldiers, DA civilians, and MN students through resident and online training, distributed learning, and mobile training teams. d. The TSAE identifies, acquires, manages, and provides state-of-the-art, home station (HS), rotational, and expeditionary training support and visual information to prepare joint and MN forces to win in any OE. The TSAE is the JMTC POC for training support at installations outside the GTA. e. Figure 1-1 shows the JMTC task organization.

Figure 1-1. JMTC Task Organization 1-11. TRAINING CONCEPT a. Concept of Operations. The JMTC builds an OE for each rotation to challenge the rotational unit’s ability to perform collective unit tasks. The OE integrates the rotational training unit (RTU), the OPFOR, and available facilities with the JMRC Operations Group (OPS GRP) and instrumentation, training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations (ITADSS). The OE is designed to replicate the RTU’s most likely future deployment and match directed and requested training objectives to the scenario. The designated exercise director oversees the creation of the OE and controls the exercise during execution. Higher Headquarters, adjacent units, and lower command response cells can be simulated or replicated to meet the exercise director’s intent and the exercise’s training objectives.


9 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

b. The Five Pillars of the CTC Program. The JMTC uses a five-pillar system to manage the CTC program. (1) Rotational Training Unit. USAREUR is responsible for ensuring rotational unit composition will be in accordance with the Army G3/5/7-approved CTC Program troop lists, which will be updated periodically. For those specific rotations where exceptions to the Army G3/5/7-approved CTC Program troop lists are approved, USAREUR is responsible for providing the additional manpower; observer/controller-trainer (OC-T) augmentation at JMRC exercises; transportation; and funding resources to accommodate the increase in rotational unit size or capability. Chapter 2 describes organizational guidelines for training units. (2) Operations Group. The OPS GRP, staffed by highly qualified OC-Ts, provides the foundation for successful JMRC rotations. JMRC OC-Ts are qualified to analyze unit and leader performance through AARs and are critical to the success of the JMRC. The AARs will reinforce Army doctrinal standards and emerging lessons learned from ongoing operations and leverage the learning opportunities presented by underscoring strengths and weaknesses demonstrated during the exercise. More frequent “in-stride” AARs, targeted at small audiences to provide initial observations to leaders, which do not disrupt the mission rhythm of the training event, will be normal. This does not preclude the conduct of formal AARs when, in the judgment of the CG, JMTC, they are deemed appropriate. Additionally, the OPS GRP develops realistic scenarios for ULO and decisive actions, as appropriate to the specific JMRC or JMSC exercise. The OPS GRP replicates the echelon above the RTU headquarters. To assist training and help the RTU in achieving rotational training objectives, the OPS GRP will have current digital mission command and communications capabilities to seamlessly operate with digitally enabled units. These capabilities must be fielded to the JMRC when available and include, but not be limited to, Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below, Blue Force Tracker, Joint Capabilities Release and Army Mission Command Systems, Joint Network Node, Global Broadcast Service, Secure Internet Protocol Router Network, Nonsecure Internet Protocol Router Network, and other systems, as developed. (3) Operational Environment. (a) The OPFOR, replicating the military aspect of the OE, will remain the best trained adversarial force in the world and provide a relevant experience at the JMRC. The OPFOR will provide the toughest, most challenging fight short of war for rotational units. To be credible, the OPFOR must be equipped to replicate the capabilities of modern threat units and the variables of political, military, economic, social, and infrastructure information with the addition of physical environment and time factors to stress the leaders’ and units’ capabilities of the RTU. The OPFOR must be able to replicate a hybrid threat, capability-based, and be able to engage and defeat the RTU. The OPFOR will employ multiple and diverse capabilities and follow a generalized doctrine that includes a wide range of potential threats. This doctrine will be descriptive rather than prescriptive and is intended to provide a framework to guide OPFOR operations. The OPFOR will have appropriate equipment and ITADSS that enhance training realism. (b) To support decisive action while replicating the human terrain of the OE, the CTC environment will include elements of future conflict and threat capabilities. One of these elements is civilians on the battlefield (COB). In general, COB functions are performed by numerous role players to present the required conditions of the OE that will help friendly units achieve their training objectives. A detailed discussion of COB requirements and resources for each MCTC can be found in the CTC Master Plan, but the following defines the categories of role players:


10 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

1. The Professional Civilian on the Battlefield (PRO-COB). A PRO-COB is a permanent party, Federal employee who directs the operations of civilian role-plays in the JMRC’s urban training sites. PRO-COBs cooperate with members of JMRC Exercise Control (EXCON) to manipulate the OE of each urban site in accordance with unit training objectives and directives from EXCON. Before each rotation, PRO-COBs provide formal and informal training to contracted generic and cultural role players. Each PRO-COB is proficient in the District Stability Framework and is responsible for ensuring the civilian role players operate within the desired OE. 2. Generic Role Players. These are personnel designated to replicate ordinary civilians on the battlefield or noncombatants such as innocent bystanders, shopkeepers, and Family members. They have no special skills but should be capable of replicating a realistic representation of the OE (number of males, females, and ages) during specific missions. 3. Special Skill Role Players. These are hired personnel with unique knowledge, expertise, or experience suitable to the training environment. Examples include foreign language role players or cultural role players with provincial reconstruction-team experience, interagency experience (for example, State Department) and experience in detainee training. a. Foreign Language Speakers. Foreign language speakers support training objectives that are centered on geographically based scenarios and require replication of languages or dialects. Foreign language speakers are typically native or fluent speakers, but may also include linguists with a defense language proficiency test rating of 3/3 or the equivalent (native language experience). Foreign language speakers are required role players who provide realistic and viable training conditions, especially during MREs. b. Cultural Role Players. These are hired personnel with specific cultural experience for a target country or region who provide a realistic cultural experience to friendly forces training experiences that are deemed critical to the success of unit training objectives; they are also typically native foreign language speakers. These individuals typically play critical roles within training scenarios such as governors, mayors, police chiefs, religious leaders, and key community persons. Cultural role players are required role players who provide realistic and viable training conditions, especially during MREs. (4) Instrumentation, Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations. ITADSS provide essential capabilities to interoperability across the MCTCs to achieve efficiencies of scale, support standard data collection, and achieve the goals of the CTC training strategy. The Army will achieve instrumentation commonality and distribution capability for AARs and Army learning. This will enable a fluid exchange of information and lessons learned across the Army. The JMRC will use instrumentation systems during live-fire and urban operations (UO). Simulations will support training requirements during all CTC events. ITADSS and AAR systems will interoperate with the Army mission command systems to the maximum extent possible and be capable of operating in a classified mode up to secret system high level, if required. The JMRC-provided ETC will employ exportable instrumentation systems that may have capability to fixed-site MCTCs instrumentation, extending the operational environment and providing more diverse training sites.


11 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

(5) Facilities. The JMTC’s infrastructure plays a vital role in supporting day-to-day operations, the rotational training mission, and the training unit. Adequate resources to support this role directly affect mission success. The facilities supporting day-to-day operations include, but are not limited to, instrumentation requirements; AAR and OPFOR facilities; generic Tactical Engagement Simulation System storage; buildings supporting prepositioned vehicles, equipment, and ITADSS fleets with their associated maintenance support buildings; logistic sustainment facilities; and contractor support facilities. The garrison commander is responsible for supporting these as part of the base operations or sustainment, restoration, and modernization mission funding. Garrison commanders are responsible for supporting RTU and augmentation personnel housing and feeding facilities with the associated utility, access, security, and support infrastructure outside the “maneuver box” (glossary). Garrison commanders are also responsible for the maintenance and repair of buildings, land, and land improvements that are not the responsibility of the Integrated Training Area Management Program but required to support JMTC mission training inside the maneuver box. The JMRC-provided ETC rotations will require comparable facility support from the supported units or institutions when conducting exported rotations. Responsibilities of garrison commanders for power-generation platforms and HSs that host ETC rotations will encompass real property assets, road and land maintenance, wash-rack facilities, and any facility that directly affects the rotating unit’s training scenario or the ability of the JMRC-provided ETC to enable the training event. c. Leader Development. The JMTC is a leader-development facility. The emphasis is on training and developing self-confident, adaptive, self-aware leaders capable of quickly assessing ambiguous situations, making decisions, and acting on them. d. The Leader Training Program (LTP). The JMRC provides collective mission command training for commanders and staffs within units and rotational support elements. This training builds on capabilities established during the brigade warfighter exercises and at HSs. It focuses on preparing BCTs for their subsequent operationally focused rotation at the JMRC. Training develops military decision-making process skills and is oriented on the tasks and conditions unique to the unit’s designated mission. A core curriculum of common training topics is included. Additionally, a menu of supplemental training topics is provided to support commanders’ training objectives. The LTP will normally be conducted during a 1-week period. (1) During all JMTC rotations and exercises, leaders will receive assessments of their leadership and its effects on mission outcomes. Knowledge gained from these assessments will leverage the CTC training environment for leader development. Every CTC training exercise produces leaders who understand their individual training development requirements so that they may improve their tactical abilities and leadership skills. (2) To support leader development, each CTC requires a robust, standardized data-collection capability for processing lessons learned. This enables the Army to draw meaningful conclusions from CTC training. The CTCs will collect and submit lessons learned to the Center for Army Lessons Learned in accordance with AR 11-33 and AE Regulation 525-5. Additionally, each CTC will rapidly integrate combat-relevant lessons learned issued by the Center for Army Lessons Learned or other approved Army venues. e. Unit Training Assessment. Unit commanders can use JMTC rotational experience to assess a training unit’s readiness for operations. The chain of command is provided with accurate, comprehensive, objective information on a unit’s ability to fight and win on a complex battlefield including ULO capabilities. Units will deploy to the JMRC and execute training based on the five pillars of the DA CTC Program (b above). The training will use tactical scenarios developed by the Commander, JMRC, and the senior trainer to meet specific training objectives.

21 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

1-29. SENIOR TRAINER The senior trainer is the commander of the parent organization being trained. This commander has two major overall training responsibilities: to develop Soldiers and leaders for future responsibilities and prepare the unit to accomplish the assigned mission. In the absence of a directed mission, commanders must prepare their units to perform the core missions that the unit was doctrinally designed to execute across the full range of military operations. a. The senior trainer approves the troop list of the training unit. When establishing the troop list, the senior trainer should— (1) Identify the task organization of the unit to be trained. (2) Complete task organizing, including types and numbers of equipment. (3) Ideally, include training-level and maintenance history. (4) Identify key echelons to be trained. (5) Approve the troop list. (6) Determine if late changes require the scenario to be rewritten. b. The senior trainer— (1) Determines the training objectives of the exercise and ensures the unit’s training objectives support the approved METL. After mission-essential tasks are selected, the senior trainer identifies supporting training objectives for each task. Each training objective has the following three parts: (a) Task. A task is a clearly defined and measurable activity accomplished by individuals and organizations. Tasks are specific activities that contribute to the accomplishment of encompassing missions or other requirements. (b) Condition. Conditions are those variables of an operational environment or situation in which a unit, system, or individual is expected to operate and may affect performance (Joint Publication 1-02). (c) Standard. A standard is a quantitative or qualitative measure and criterion for specifying the levels of performance of a task (ADP 7-0). (2) Ensures the unit refers to the applicable documents to identify the conditions and standards for its essential tasks. (3) Conducts, in coordination with the commander of the unit to be trained, an assessment of the current training state of the unit immediately before the exercise. The assessed training condition of the unit as it enters the exercise is expressed as trained (T), partially trained (P), or untrained (U). (4) Must bring, along with the commander of the training unit, the following tools to the initial planning: (a) The troop list. (b) The proposed training objectives (METL).


22 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

(c) The proposed conditions for the training objective tasks. (d) The commander’s assessment. (5) Will issue guidance during the analysis of the tools listed in (4)(a) through (d) above and during the discussions and negotiations of the initial planning phase. 1-30. EXERCISE DIRECTOR The exercise director is an officer of at least equal but preferably senior status to the brigade commander and is not part of the tactical chain of command of the training unit. However, during single-Service Army exercises conducted largely with unit internal resources and not intended as culminating training events, the exercise director and senior trainer may be the same officer. The CG, JMTC, or the COG, JMRC, as specified in the applicable USAREUR order for the exercise, ordinarily serves as the exercise director. The exercise director— a. Creates and enforces the essential conditions called for by the training objectives and is responsible for approving the combination of settings for the operational variables selected by the exercise planner. b. Ensures an effective training environment to create the most realistic training. The exercise director emplaces a strong safety program and develops and coordinates training events that synchronize training areas and facilities, training support system products and services, OPFOR, OC-Ts, evaluators, and all other resources to support the required conditions. c. Acts as an “honest broker” and ensures a level playing field. The exercise director enforces use of OPFOR doctrine and exercise rules of engagement by ensuring that the OC-T organization is well trained and has the resources it needs. 1-31. EXERCISE PLANNER The exercise planner is typically an officer tasked with the actual creation of the exercise and its conditions. He or she incorporates the training objectives, the desired training conditions, the resources available, the commander’s evaluation, and guidance from the exercise director into a cohesive exercise design. The exercise planner will— a. Develop the exercise scenario. Regardless of the type of training event, the exercise planner builds an exercise framework, which contains the critical facts and conditions for the exercise. The exercise planner must keep in mind that although the sequence of events that lead to the execution of a mission during training may be scripted and controlled, once the conditions for the mission are met and the unit begins mission execution, the events should be allowed to follow their natural course. He or she ensures that there is the least possible restraint on exercise conditions consistent with the training objectives that will allow leaders to realize the full consequences of their decisions. b. Determine the settings for the operational variables (political, military, economic, social, information, infrastructure, physical environment, and time), establishing a framework to build a dynamic and realistic OE. c. Develop all orders, plans, and instructions associated with the exercise, including the road to war, the training unit’s orders and plans (parent unit and higher), OPFOR combat instructions (orders), and role-player instructions. During MRXs, the exercise planner may be responsible for developing and coordinating controlled scripted events normally executed by OPFOR and other role-players.


23 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

d. Develop concept briefings and interim progress reports and coordinate all aspects of the exercise closely with the exercise director to ensure compliance with guidance, support of the exercise training objectives, and adherence to OPFOR doctrine. e. Be cautious when using material from past exercises. Often, when given the assignment to design an exercise, an exercise planner will use an earlier exercise without modification. This is a common practice and it makes sense to use the work done by others in the past instead of starting from nothing. If using a past exercise, however, the exercise planner must view it only as an initial guide and, more importantly, still go through all the steps and use the AAR from the earlier exercise to prevent repetition of poorly planned or executed scenarios and events. CHAPTER 2 TRAINING 2-1. USAREUR PRIORITY OF TRAINING Commanders will conduct training in accordance with the following USAREUR priorities: a. Prepare for ULO and decisive action. b. Strengthen joint and combined warfighting. c. Restore balance to Soldiers and their Families. d. Sustain partner capacity and improve interoperability with joint and MN forces. 2-2. USAREUR TRAINING STRATEGY Training for overseas contingency operations (OCO) is USAREUR’s top priority and all leaders must train and prepare for operational missions. Units with a designated deployment date are considered deploying expeditionary forces. a. Mission-set training will be based on individual Soldier and unit-training requirements and standards and on Army-supported CCMD and USAREUR deployment-readiness criteria. b. The second training priority for USAREUR is conducting capabilities-based training for forces not committed to OCO. These forces may be preparing to rebase in the European theater or permanently move to CONUS; they may also be apportioned to operation plans in other CCMD areas of operation as contingency expeditionary forces. c. Units without a deployment latest arrival date (LAD) are considered contingency expeditionary forces units and will concentrate training on their DA-standardized METL (https://combinedarmscenter. army.mil/orgs/cact/TMD/METL/default.aspx) tasks and MTOE capabilities. These units will concentrate on major combat operations with selected counterinsurgency and stability operations tasks determined as necessary by their commanders and USAREUR guidance. 2-3. CULMINATING TRAINING EVENTS a. The CSA directed the Army to move to a 24-month force-generation cycle. This requires prioritization, more effective training management, and the use of LVC-G training tools.


24 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

b. Apportioned maneuver units (BCTs) that are regionally aligned or postured to assume a contingency expeditionary force mission will conduct one DATE rotation each fiscal year. Apportioned functional and multifunctional units are authorized one CPX each fiscal year or given the opportunity to participate in a JMTC rotation, if supportable. c. Allocated maneuver units that have 12 months or less dwell time and an LAD will conduct one MRE before deploying. Allocated maneuver units that have 18 months or more dwell time will conduct one DATE rotation at the end of their 9-month training window following reset and one MRE before deploying. Allocated functional and multifunctional units with an LAD that will execute deployment operations outside a forward operating base (FOB) type of environment will conduct an MRE. Allocated functional and multifunctional units with an LAD that will execute deployment operations inside a FOB-type environment will conduct an MRX, a certification exercise (CERTEX), or an MRE with a functional unit, if available. d. Commanders will program culminating events for all of their units, regardless of size. Smaller units are part of the team and must not be overlooked. 2-4. TRAINING STRATEGY a. The purpose of the JMTC is to develop self-aware, adaptive leaders and Soldiers with a joint expeditionary mindset and train USAREUR units for ULO. The JMTC staff are enablers of and full participants in the JNTC. As part of JNTC implementation, JMTC will develop the capability to extend the CTC experience beyond the JMRC borders. (1) As the manning paradigm changes for BCTs, CTCs are now able to prepare entire units for combat that will not be affected by normal permanent changes of station and changes in duty assignment immediately after the rotation. As a result, emphasis shifts from giving a brigade or battalion commander a rotation during their command tenure to preparing entire units for combat through warfighting rotations focused on readiness. (2) The JMTC will accomplish this by integrating the OE into all training. This environment will include simultaneous, noncontiguous, and continuous operations potentially as a distributed, global, LVC environment under a decisive-action context. Army units will get a rigorous fight in the OE focusing on offensive, defensive, and stability operations against an unpredictable, free-play, and thinking OPFOR. (3) The battlefield will be arrayed in-depth to maximize stress on digital command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. Complex instrumented terrain including UO or military operations on urbanized terrain will be available for each rotation. Instrumented feedback for both formal and informal AARs will provide the necessary lessons learned for leaders, units, and the Army at large. Lessons learned from combat will be fed into JMTC rotations to ensure that units stay abreast of adaptive threats. To stress the logistics structure, realistic sustainment warfighting functions and Army special operations forces (SOF), if available, will be integrated throughout the rotation. (4) Leaders in JMTC exercises will be required to fight their units on arrival as part of the deployment exercise. All JMTC scenarios are set in a joint context and include joint interdependence and interagency participants in rotations.


25 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

b. The JMRC provides required training for ground-maneuver BCTs to conduct brigade force-on-force live maneuver training against an adaptive, capabilities-based OPFOR on an instrumented battlefield with feedback provided by a professional force of OC-Ts. JMRC is capable of providing combined arms live-fire, force-on-force, and UO training. In coordination with JMRC and MCTP, the JMSC provides required training for commanders and staffs of divisions, corps, ASCCs, BCTs, multifunctional support brigades, and functional support brigades to train against an adaptive, capabilities-based world-class OPFOR on a realistic and stressful simulated battlefield. (1) JMRC and JMSC provide the “capstone collective training event” (glossary) in the combined arms training strategies. HS training should prepare units to gain the maximum benefit from their CTC experience. (2) The BCTs deploying to the maneuver CTCs must be task organized with combat, protection, and sustainment assets necessary to execute wartime missions. They conform to the Army G-3/5/7-approved CTC Program troop lists. As the Army moves to BCT designs, troop lists have been adjusted accordingly. Echelons above brigade and division assets will be limited to combat, protection, and sustainment units that directly support the BCT. The requesting unit will fund all echelons above brigade and division assets that do not directly support the BCT. Units not on the Army G-3/5/7-approved CTC Program troop lists must be approved and funded by USAREUR. The scope of unit training at each maneuver center is generally as follows: (a) JMRC. The JMRC is capable of providing Army, joint, and MN forces a training experience at fixed facilities in Germany or anywhere in the world as an ETC. The JMRC trains BCTs of all types by providing tough, realistic, and demanding training, which includes force-on-force training, live-fire exercises, MREs, and LTPs. Within the ARFORGEN readiness model, JMRC will primarily concentrate on collective training events supporting available BCTs. The JMRC will be ready to support CONUS ARFORGEN ETC events, as required. The JMRC is not capable of executing simultaneous fixed MCTC-based and stand-alone ETC events. (b) Stryker Brigade Combat Team. Stryker BCT rotations are inherently more robust in personnel and equipment than other BCT rotations. This in turn creates a requirement for the sponsoring Army command or ASCC to provide additional manpower or equipment resources or both for these rotations. Regardless of the rotation type, all requirements funded by the CTC Program will be based on Army G-3/5/7-approved CTC Program troop lists. (c) United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC). USASOC elements are integrated to the maximum extent possible at JMRC, the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC), and the National Training Center (NTC). Units assigned to the USASOC participate at the MCTC in varying degrees, depending on the operational requirements levied on USASOC. Under most conditions, USASOC units operate in support of a Joint Special Operations Task Force. When activities need to be synchronized with conventional force operations, a special operations command and control element (SOCCE) is established. The SOCCE is the focal point for the synchronization of SOF activities with conventional force operations. The SOCCE performs command and control (C2) or liaison functions according to mission requirements and as directed by the establishing commander. The SOCCE normally is employed when SOF conduct operations in support of a conventional force. It colocates with the command post of the supported force to coordinate, synchronize, and deconflict its operations with the operations of the supported force and to ensure communications interoperability with that force. The SOCCE receives SOF operational, intelligence, and target acquisition reports directly from deployed SOF elements and provides them to the supported headquarters.


26 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

(d) Aviation. The aviation task force supports each CTC rotation as part of a BCT troop list. Aviation elements preparing to deploy can request JMTC support through the USAREUR G3/7 TREX. 2-5. MISSION COMMAND Training for operational adaptability requires an understanding of and an ability to effectively execute mission command (that is, the exercise of authority and direction by the commander using mission orders to enable disciplined initiative within the commander’s intent to empower agile and adaptive leaders in the conduct of ULO (ADP 6-0). The six principles of mission command are listed in ADP 6-0. Leaders must become proficient in exercising mission command in both operations and training. Mission command empowers commanders and trainers to be agile and adaptive in meeting their commander’s intent and accomplishing the assigned mission. Leaders maintain and develop adaptability by concentrating on two central tenets of ULO: training to accomplish specific tasks and requirements of decisive action and effectively applying mission command in ULO. Commanders will apply the operational process (plan, prepare, execute, and assess) to unit training and leader development and exercise mission command to give subordinates latitude in determining how to train their units to achieve the desired end state, building trust and initiative in their subordinates. Commanders will train their units using the ITE, a system that, by design, combines or connects support tools and ITADSS in a persistent and consistent manner while leveraging mission command systems to meet the commander’s training objectives for the appropriate OE and assigned mission. Leaders will use connect mission command systems with LVC-G enablers over operational networks both within and between installations to enable execution of integrated mission command and maneuver training. These capabilities will reinforce and leverage the links and relationships between HS training, training at CTCs, and training provided by the MCTP. 2-6. SCHEDULING a. USAREUR Scheduling. Ideally, JMRC training events will be scheduled 3 years out and synchronized with ARFORGEN scheduling. These include all brigade and joint rotations. The scheduling and integration of MN units into a JMTC rotation will be accomplished on participation approval granted by the USAREUR G3/5/7. Figure 2-1 shows USAREUR’s scheduling role in the overall combat training center program organization. b. Scenario Development. Scenarios are based on the COE, theater-specific design, or any deviation that is mission dependent. Scenario development is the joint responsibility of the JMRC and the senior trainer. (1) Scenario development will begin with the Concept Development Conference (CDC). At this meeting— (a) The commander will identify specific mission-essential tasks and training objectives for the exercise. (b) Milestones for scenario development will be established. (c) Projected troop lists will be discussed. (2) Scenario development will continue with JMRC receiving the 180-day Mission Letter. This letter will outline specific training objectives for each rotation 180 days before the rotation. (3) The OPS GRP will brief the scenarios to the senior trainer. (4) The Commander, JMRC, in coordination with the senior trainer, will approve the final scenario.

Figure 2-1. Combat Training Center Program Organization c. Augmentation OC-Ts. The OPS GRP will provide OC-Ts for JMRC exercises. OC-Ts will work under the direction of the COG. Training units may be tasked to provide augmentation OC-Ts to meet essential OPS GRP shortfalls. OC-T augmentation requirements will be identified and coordinated at least 180 days before training begins. The OPS GRP will provide the senior OC-T for each team. Augmentation OC-Ts will— (1) Complete certification training to JMRC standards under the direction of the COG. Soldiers selected for OC-T duty will support a complete brigade rotation. The COG will provide the training-unit commander with the requirements for OC-T personnel and equipment augmentation to support the full rotation. The COG will provide this information at least 180 days before training begins. (2) Report to the OC-T academy for prerotation certification training as coordinated with the OPS GRP in the tasking letter. Augmentees who show up late for OC-T certification will not deploy into the maneuver area until they are fully certified.


28 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

(3) OC-T augmentation is an important aspect of a training rotation. Augmentees must be motivated, disciplined, and qualified to perform the demanding task of OC-T (ideally having served in the positions they are observing and controlling). Augmentee OC-Ts who are not motivated, disciplined, and qualified will be returned to their parent unit. (4) Augmentees will be released from OPS GRP control when AARs and take-home packages are completed. d. OPFOR. An OPFOR representing the required components of a threat force will oppose training units in force-on-force training. The OPFOR will— (1) Be configured according to the threat outlined in the rotation design. (2) Execute scenario-directed missions under the C2 of an appropriate headquarters portrayed by the regimental tactical operations center (RTOC). (3) Execute tactical missions according to threat force doctrine found in the COE. (4) OPFOR will execute all missions under the direction of the COG. For each rotation, OPFOR will execute missions based on guidelines in the Complex Battlefield Inject and through “free” play. e. OPS GRP. The OPS GRP will— (1) Control the entire exercise battlefield. (2) Improve battlefield realism through firemarkers, training devices, and tactical simulations. (3) Coordinate through USAREUR to augment specific personnel or equipment shortfalls to support the exercise. Additional taskings may arise because of unit requests beyond JMRC support capabilities. (4) Conduct exercises in accordance with JMRC exercise procedures and the JMRC exercise instructions as published by the OPS GRP S3. (5) Conduct instrumented AARs as required. Units may request leader-led AARs in the rotational training letter (300 days out.) f. JMRC Scheduling. (1) Ideally, rotation and ETC training events will be scheduled 2 years out in accordance with the FORSCOM and USAREUR ARFORGEN scheduling process. These include all USAREUR BCT, functional brigade, and JIIM training requests. (2) Scheduling of units to be trained in the ETC program is accomplished during the ARFORGEN Synchronization Conference. USAREUR should conduct a semiannual theater synchronization conference before the FORSCOM-hosted ARFORGEN Synchronization Conference. Representatives from the following organizations participate in the scheduling process: (a) Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7, HQDA (DAMO-TR).

The first phase is a 3-day seminar at HS, the HTA, or an alternate location where resident OC-Ts provide lessons learned and conduct warfighting-function breakout sessions to help the training unit adapt policies and procedures to account for operations in a MN environment. The dates and location for this phase are coordinated at the CDC and confirmed at the initial planning conference (IPC). b. Phase 2. The second phase of the JCAP takes place during the RSOI period at the HTA. The duration is usually 6 days, with the first 3 days spent building the processes of the brigade task force across the warfighting functions in cooperation with the participating allies and partners, enabling refinement of the products created during Phase 1. The next 3 days concentrate on the military decision-making process, culminating with the issuance of the brigade operation order for the rotation. OC-Ts are available throughout this phase not only to observe, but to provide training as required. The JCAP schedule of classes will be provided to the training unit through the 300-day letter, and any particular requests for JCAP training will be requested during the IPC and confirmed at the MPC.

APPENDIX B UNITED STATES ARMY JOINT MULTINATIONAL READINESS CENTER ROTATION PLANNING B-1. GENERAL United States Army Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) rotation planning and development is a process involving both the rotational training unit (RTU) and the Seventh Army Joint Multinational Training Command (JMTC) based on the joint event life cycle (JELC). a. JELC Overview. The JELC is the planning tool that USAREUR uses to convey a predictable, consistent model for the planning and execution of exercises and rotations. Dependent on the type of training event, the JELC may either be protracted or contracted to provide an appropriate amount of time for planning. Subparagraphs (1) through (12) below outline a general timeline standard that represents a baseline to be deviated from. Figure B-1 shows the USAREUR Exercise JELC. Further discussion of the JELC can be found in Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Manual 3500.03D, available at http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/training/cjcsm3500_03d.pdf, and CJCS Guide 3501, available at http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/doctrine/other/g3501.pdf.

APPENDIX C ASSIGNMENT OF A MULTINATIONAL OBSERVER/CONTROLLER-TRAINER CADRE FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS C-1. PURPOSE a. This appendix establishes procedures and processes for USAREUR and assigned units for nominating, selecting, assigning, receiving, and employing personnel assigned to the Multinational (MN) Observer/Controller-Trainer (OC-T) Cadre Familiarization Program for non-U.S. participants, and for making information-sharing arrangements in support of the program. The proponent of this appendix is the Security Cooperation Division (SCD), Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G3/5/7, HQ USAREUR. b. The MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program supports the DOD Strategic Guidance, the Combatant Commander’s Theater Campaign Plan, USEUCOM Country Cooperation Plans, the Army Security Cooperation Strategy, the HQDA Army Campaign Support Plan, and the USAREUR Theater Campaign Support Plan (TCSP). This program is intended to strengthen NATO alliance relationships by sustaining allied interoperability and maintaining or enhancing organizational relationships in support of regional military cooperation strategies. c. USAREUR units have identified opportunities for NATO allies to participate in a variety of USAREUR security-cooperation programs. These cadre-participant positions allow mid-grade officers and noncommissioned officers from allied nations to gain in-depth familiarization with the roles and functions of United States Army Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) OC-Ts. In addition, MN participants will have the support of an assigned contact officer for the duration of their assignment. The appointment of an individual contact officer to sponsor each incoming participant is an essential part of the MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program. Program orientation and preparatory training are compulsory before assuming duties associated with a specific position. d. The MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program will be applied in accordance with current Department of the Army (DA), USEUCOM, and USAREUR security-cooperation mechanisms. e. The MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program is intended to strengthen defense cooperation and interoperability by integrating U.S. and NATO allied military personnel assigned to one of the eight OC-T team positions at the unit level. Through short-term visits of partner-nation military personnel, the MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program provides a framework that has the potential to prepare officers and noncommissioned officers for future assignments in support of MN operations. The primary purpose of this program is to enhance interoperability through familiarization and practical experience. f. This appendix addresses MN OC-T postings for up to 90 days. Other TDY assignments may be governed by appropriate regulations listed in appendix A. C-2. LEGAL AUTHORITIES The MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program is consistent with the following legal authority and regulatory policy: a. The legal authorities supporting this initiative are the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, as amended, under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Program. The FMS Program authorizes NATO allies to procure U.S. training for the purposes of enhancing interoperability and improving operational readiness.


46 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

b. AR 350-50 provides regulatory guidance for MN OC-Ts participating at U.S. combat training centers. C-3. PROGRAM CONCEPT a. The MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program is designed to ensure that MN participants receive familiarization and orientation on U.S. and NATO allied procedures as an OC-T for military maneuver unit training. MN OC-T candidates must meet the professional skill-level criteria of their host nation (HN) before participating in this program. The intent of the program is to enhance interoperability between MN participants and U.S. counterparts. b. The JMRC has identified 17 specific positions and developed associated position descriptions (PDs) that offer a variety of professional expertise and experience levels. MN OC-Ts are divided into several teams (for example Raptor, Warhog, Badger, Mustang, Falcon, Vampire, Grizzly, Timberwolf, Adler). All OC-Ts can expect to be assigned to a team for the duration of their appointment. c. MN OC-Ts will receive revised instruction and practical application in rotational operations during JMRC exercises including brigade and battalion mission-readiness exercises (MRXs), and decisive action training environment (DATE) exercises. In addition, participants will be able to attend familiarization courses at the JMRC and will have an opportunity to garner and reinforce their ability to work in an interoperable environment. d. The tour of duty for MN OC-Ts, excluding travel time, is intended to last no longer than 90 days. Any time required for qualification and familiarization may be in addition to the normal tour-rotation period. e. Under general operating conditions, the U.S. Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) or appropriate representatives of the U.S. country team may negotiate directly with country desk officers assigned to HQ USAREUR to identify OC-T cadre opportunities at the JMRC. C-4. RESPONSIBILITIES a. The G3/7 Training and Exercise Division (G3/7 TREX), Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G3/5/7, HQ USAREUR, will— (1) Provide oversight, guidance, and direction for the MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program. (2) Ensure commanders of subordinate units develop their own applicable policies and processes in order to implement this appendix. b. The SCD will— (1) Serve as the HQ USAREUR primary staff element for managing and directing USAREUR units implementing this appendix. (2) Prepare talking points for the CG, USAREUR; the DCG, USAREUR; the CSM, USAREUR; and the USAREUR G3/5/7 on an as-needed basis with recommendations for key-leader engagements to encourage invitations to NATO allied nations to participate in the MN OC-T Cadre Familiarization Program.

PARTNERSHIP STAFF POST, LOCATION, AND SECURITY a. MN OC-Ts will at all times be required to comply with the security laws, regulations, and procedures of the German Government and USAREUR. Any violation of security procedures by MN OC-Ts during their assignments will be reported to the government of the MN OC-T’s nation for appropriate action through the respective U.S. country team leaders. MN OC-Ts committing violations of security procedures during their assignments will be withdrawn from the MN OC-T program and may be subjected to administrative or disciplinary action, as appropriate. b. It is the responsibility of the requesting NATO member country representatives to send requests for extended visits through their embassy to the U.S. Army at least 90 days before the desired start date and receive Army approval before their participants may assume duties or gain access to U.S. military facilities or installations. c. To the extent authorized by the laws and regulations of the Governments of the United States and Germany, USAREUR will arrange for the provision of administrative support deemed necessary for MN OC-Ts to perform assigned tasks. USAREUR, through JMTC, will familiarize MN OC-Ts with any unique procedures necessary for the proper performance of their assigned tasks. C-10. LEGAL STATUS a. The respective ministry of defense representative must ensure assigned MN OC-Ts have all documentation required by the German Government, as coordinated with the German Ministry of Defense, for legal entry into and exit from Germany. The NATO ally’s ministry of defense is responsible for completing coordination with the German Government before individual participants arrive at the JMRC in Hohenfels. The NATO ally will provide to USAREUR a copy of the letter from the German Ministry of Defense, which will serve as evidence of such coordination. b. It is the responsibility of the sending nation’s representatives to send requests for extended visits through their embassy to the U.S. Army at least 90 days before the desired start date and receive Army approval before their participants may enter Germany.


52 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

c. MN OC-Ts will be informed by USAREUR about applicable laws, orders, regulations, and customs and are required to comply with them. In addition, MN OC-Ts will be briefed by USAREUR personnel regarding their specific entitlements, privileges, and obligations after their arrival at Hohenfels. d. The NATO Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) and supplemental agreements distinguish between sending-state and nonsending-state alliance members. MN OC-Ts from sending states enjoy a special status because those states retain forces in Germany. Sending states are identified in the NATO SOFA and the NATO SOFA Supplementary Agreement and are as follows: (1) Belgium. (2) Canada. (3) France. (4) Netherlands. (5) United Kingdom. (6) United States. C-11. FINANCE NATO allies participating in the FMS Program are generally accountable for their own financial obligations. However, there are U.S. funding options designed to alleviate financial requirements for certain NATO allies. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) Manual 5105.38-M, chapters 4, 5, and 6, describes the various funding tools that may be offered to NATO members. The manual is available at http://www.samm.dsca.mil/listing/chapters. The ODCs are the lead DOD agencies assigning the appropriate funding mechanisms.

APPENDIX F COMMUNICATIONS AND ELECTRONIC WARFARE F-1. GENERAL The task force signal officer or brigade signal officer is the primary liaison officer between the rotation unit and the United States Army Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) signal office. An S6 representative will be deployed with the rotational unit and be available during the entire rotation to resolve all frequency issues. Any questions about communications at the JMRC will be addressed to the JMRC Signal Officer (mil 520-5735/5676/5030). F-2. SIGNAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Units with Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems (SINCGARSs) may use either the single-frequency mode or frequency-hopping mode. Units desiring to use the frequency-hopping mode will coordinate with the JMRC Signal Officer for authorized frequency-hop sets. Units starting a rotation in frequency-hopping mode must coordinate with JMRC Exercise Control (EXCON) before going to single-frequency mode during the rotation. F-3. SECURE VARIABLES AND FILLS a. Training units will use only JMRC secure variables and fills. b. The use of any variable other than the JMRC variable is strictly prohibited. Dates and times of frequency and variable change will be in accordance with the unit’s standing operating procedures. Any variance must have the approval of the Commander, Operations Group, JMRC. c. Bootlegging frequencies is strictly prohibited at the JMRC. Vehicles with radios operating on bootlegged frequencies will be assessed as a casualty and given a simulated battle damage assessment (SBDA) packet, and personnel will be assessed as non-battle casualties. F-4. ELECTRONIC WARFARE a. Jamming. Training units planning to conduct jamming operations during a JMRC rotation, including military intelligence (MI) units tasked to augment the opposing force, must request jamming frequencies from the USAREUR Frequency Management Office not later than 90 days before the rotation. 90 days are required to process the request for jamming frequencies and receive authorization from the host nation. Units must use the Standard Frequency Action Format to submit this request. On approval of jamming frequencies, units must coordinate with the JMRC Signal Officer not later than D1. The JMRC Signal Officer will then publish the authorized jamming list for EXCON and regimental tactical operations center (RTOC) use. b. STOP BUZZER Frequency. All electronic warfare (EW) assets will continuously monitor the STOP BUZZER frequency and cease operation immediately if directed to do so. The STOP BUZZER frequency will be published before each rotation when units are authorized to jam. c. RESTRICTED and TABOO Frequency Lists. The RESTRICTED and TABOO frequencies are strictly controlled. Jamming or monitoring these frequencies is strictly forbidden. Examples of TABOO frequencies are internationally controlled, broadcast emergency, commercial air, medical evacuation, and JMRC operations frequencies. Vehicles found with radios monitoring Operations Group nets will be given an SBDA packet; personnel will be assessed as non-battle casualties.


56 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

d. Authorized Jamming List. Ground EW assets may jam only those frequencies listed on the authorized jamming list that the JMRC Signal Officer publishes before each rotation. This list is provided to EXCON and to the RTOC to use in approving jamming requests. The Blue Forces MI control unit, usually the direct-support company analysis and control team, will contact EXCON for clearance before conducting jamming missions. EXCON will approve only frequencies on the approved jamming list. The MI control unit augmenting the OPFOR will contact the RTOC for similar clearance. Maximum power output is 100 watts. e. QUICKFIX Heliborne Intercept and Electronic Countermeasures System. Aircraft operating in the maneuver area for collection operations must be able to communicate with the Air Force OC team (call sign LIGHTNING) using an ultrahigh frequency to assist airspace management.

APPENDIX G OBSERVER/CONTROLLER-TRAINER AUGMENTEE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM G-1. PURPOSE The observer/controller-trainer (OC-T) augmentee certification program provides training for rotational augmentee OC-Ts, eligible officers, and noncommissioned officers temporarily assigned or attached to the United States Army Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) in the necessary skills, tactics, techniques, procedures, and knowledge required to perform duties as an OC-T in support of the JMRC mission. G-2. SCOPE The Observer Coach Trainer Academy provides the training program necessary for rotational augmentee OC-T training and certification at JMRC. OC-T training concentrates primarily on military assistance and JMRC capabilities. OC-Ts will understand and be capable of applying the interoperability of military assistance, JMRC capabilities, and OC-T duties and responsibilities in support of JMRC missions. G-3. TRAINING CONCEPT The Observer Coach Trainer Academy is responsible for training all personnel assigned or attached to the JMRC Operations Group enabling OC-Ts to support training exercises at the platoon through brigade levels. The Rotational Augmentee Tier I training program comprises 19 modules. G-4. CERTIFICATION a. Certification requires successful completion of all 19 modules of the Rotational Augmentee Tier-I training program. These modules teach the minimum common elements of knowledge and proficiency that OC-Ts require to perform duties during a JMRC rotational training exercise. The training outline is designed to enable OC-Ts to meet the certification requirements. The objective of Rotational Augmentee Tier-I training is the provisional certification as an OC-T. This certification is valid for 180 days. b. Rotational augmentee OC-Ts returning within 180 days after certification will not be required to be retrained. The Soldier’s name will be verified in the Observer Coach Trainer Academy’s student files to ensure course completion. c. All rotational augmentee OC-Ts who return later than 180 days after certification or are not listed in the Academy’s database will be required to retrain without exception. G-5. RECERTIFICATION Any multinational, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, or U.S. Marine Corps officer or noncommissioned officer certified as an augmentee who has not performed duties as an OC-T for a period of at least 180 days must be recertified as an OC-T.

APPENDIX H INTEGRATION OF MULTINATIONAL UNITS INTO U.S. TRAINING EXERCISES AT THE UNITED STATES ARMY JOINT MULTINATIONAL READINESS CENTER H-1. MULTINATIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES The Collective Training Branch, Multinational Training Division (MNTD), G3/7 Training and Exercise Division (G3/7 TREX), Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G3/5/7, HQ USAREUR, is the primary POC for planning, coordinating, resourcing, and scheduling partner-nation (PN) participation in Seventh Army Joint Multinational Training Command (JMTC) training rotations or USAREUR exercises conducted at the United States Army Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) (AE Reg 350-2). H-2. ACCESS BY UNITS FROM OTHER NATIONS a. Approval Authority. The CG, USAREUR, is the Army’s designated approval authority for access by units from other nations who request to participate in exercises and training rotations at JMRC. The CG, USAREUR, will approve requests from other nations consistent with this regulation; Chief of Staff, Army, guidance; and applicable agreements with the Federal Republic of Germany. The MNTD is the primary action agent to receive, coordinate, and respond to PN requests in coordination with the Security Cooperation Division (SCD), the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G3/5/7, HQ USAREUR; the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G2; the International Agreements Division, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G8; the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G4; the Staff Judge Advocate; and JMTC. b. Criteria for Approval of Access by PNs to the JMRC. The MNTD will, in coordination with the SCD, prioritize and obtain CG, USAREUR, approval of requests that support U.S. primary training requirements to enhance or sustain U.S. unit interoperability with selected NATO allied or PN units and help achieve overall USAREUR exercise objectives. When disclosure of classified military information to representatives of foreign governments is required, authorization will be obtained in accordance with AR 380-5 and AR 380-10. Land force representatives of participating nations must agree to pay for or reimburse USAREUR for training and related life support through an acquisition cross-servicing agreement with national funds or one of the possible U.S. funding sources (for example, Developing Country Combined Exercise Program (DCCEP), Warsaw Initiative Fund (WIF), Coalition Readiness Support Program (CRSP), Foreign Military Financing (FMF), Reciprocal Unit Exchange Program). c. PN Unit Scheduling. The MNTD schedules PN participation in USAREUR exercises hosted by the JMTC at the JMRC primarily during the semiannual NATO/USAREUR Combined Training Conferences, held normally in November and June. Before each Combined Training Conference, the MNTD coordinates with the SCD to ensure resources are available and used in accordance with USEUCOM; CG, USAREUR; and USAREUR theater security-cooperation priorities. The MNTD will receive and evaluate the feasibility of any out-of-cycle requests from countries to participate in USAREUR exercises and provide coordinated recommendations to the CG, USAREUR, for decision. d. PN Unit Funding During USAREUR Exercises at JMRC. (1) PN Units Participating as Primary Training Audiences (Blue Forces (BLUFOR)). PN units receiving training benefit as BLUFOR will self-fund all costs associated with transportation to and from JMRC and all life and training support during the rotation. Eligible countries that have received approved U.S. Security Assistance funding, such as FMF, CRSP, or 10 USC 1206 funding, may pay participation costs with these funds.


59 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

(2) PN Units Participating as Training Enablers for U.S. BLUFOR. PN units participating as training enablers for U.S. training audiences are expected to self-fund their participation, including transportation to and from JMRC and all costs associated with life and training support during the rotation, when capable. Eligible developing countries may request available U.S. funding assistance during the Combined Training Conference scheduling conferences (12-18 months in advance) if they are unable to self-fund and are required as enablers during the exercise to achieve U.S. unit training objectives. The MNTD will plan, coordinate, and resource prioritized PN unit participation in this series, using available DCCEP, WIF, FMF, or other authorized funding sources. The G3/7 TREX POC for PN funding is the Deputy Chief, MNTD (mil 537-3851). e. Types of USAREUR Exercise Training Rotations at JMRC. (1) Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE) Saber Junction (SJ) Exercise Series. USAREUR conducts one DATE rotation annually, alternating its two brigade combat teams, the 173d Airborne Brigade Combat Team and the 2d Cavalry Regiment, as available, as the primary U.S. training audience. DATE rotations are supported by the mission command training program and train on full-spectrum operations scenarios. USAREUR seeks up to two battalion task-force equivalents of primarily peer or similarly capable partners to participate in the opposing force (OPFOR) or BLUFOR role and will include a variety of other nations in multifunction enabler roles as funding, exercise objectives, and PN unit availability allow. USAREUR will leverage a tailored mix of funding sources to fund this exercise series. The Department of the Army provides primary funding for U.S. forces to JMTC from the management decision evaluation package. Capable partners self-fund their participation. G3/7 TREX will assess what available USEUCOM DCCEP, WIF, CRSP, or FMF funds are required and coordinate with appropriate offices 12–24 months in advance to acquire funding, based on scheduling commitments provided by countries at Combined Training Conferences. (2) Kosovo Force (KFOR) Rotations. USAREUR hosts NATO KFOR mission-rehearsal exercises at JMRC to prepare U.S. and PN forces to assume the next KFOR rotation mission. The primary U.S. training audience is the designated U.S. rotational unit headquarters and its associated subordinate units. NATO seeks to align designated PN units that will conduct the mission during the same operational rotation. G3/7 TREX may assist in seeking selected enabler units among available PNs. USAREUR funds U.S. unit participation using KFOR-designated funds. (3) NATO Response Force (NRF) Exercises at JMRC Combined Resolve Exercise Series. USAREUR plans, funds, and coordinates two NRF exercises at JMRC each fiscal year. USAREUR schedules these rotations based on alignment with the two 60-day semiannual European Rotational Force (ERF) rotations of a brigade combat team (BCT) to Europe and synchronizes them with scheduled NATO NRF exercises hosted in other NATO countries. The U.S. BCT headquarters, battalion headquarters, and battalion task-force elements of the designated USEUCOM rotational aligned force serve as the primary U.S. training audience of this exercise series. G3/7 TREX, in coordination with USEUCOM J5/8, will schedule other priority NRF designated NATO units to participate in this series based on unit availability and national or USEUCOM funding. The MNTD will also schedule selected available PN units at Combined Training Conferences to serve as enablers and coordinate to provide funding assistance to eligible countries. Capable partners will self-fund, and the MNTD will request funding with authorities through USEUCOM fund program managers for eligible PNs with designated NRF unit participants.


60 AE Reg 350-50 ● 26 May 15

(4) Multinational Interoperability Training Rotations Allied Spirit Exercise Series. USAREUR will conduct two or three Allied Spirit rotations per fiscal year, depending on allocated funding. The primary U.S. training audience for this series is the USAREUR BCT that is in its training phase leading up to the next USAREUR DATE rotation (SJ Exercise). This exercise will be used by the U.S. BCT commander as a pre-DATE train-up for that unit while simultaneously enhancing or sustaining U.S. interoperability with selected PN units. USAREUR will schedule up to two battalion task-force equivalents of selected PN land forces to train with the USAREUR primary training audience. USAREUR’s intent is to provide a flexible training environment where both U.S. and participating PN units meet their training and readiness objectives while maintaining or enhancing coalition interoperability.

APPENDIX K EXERCISE PLANNING INVOLVING CLASS 5 AMMUNITION (TRAINING AMMUNITION) K-1. For exercises involving class 5 ammunition (training ammunition), the following actions must be taken within the specified timelines: a. No later than the main planning conference (D-180-150)— (1) The training unit, in coordination with the Seventh Army Joint Multinational Training Command (JMTC), will identify total ammunition training requirements by Department of Defense identification code (DODIC) and quantity (QTY) and submit requirements to the USAREUR Training Ammunition Management Office (TAMO) for validation. (2) The USAREUR TAMO will validate the requirements and provide feedback to the training unit. A copy of the feedback will be sent to the USAREUR G4 to issue available ammunition. (3) The training unit, in coordination with JMTC, will identify ammunition requirements for non-U.S. entities by country, DODIC, and QTY only if an acquisition and cross-servicing agreement (ACSA) is involved (procuring U.S. ammunition through the ACSA process.) If a non-U.S. entity is shipping or using its own assets, there are no additional requirements other than storage. The non-U.S. entity should know the process and timelines for shipment to the Grafenwöhr or Hohenfels Training Area. Storage will be coordinated through JMTC G3 Ammunition (mil 475-8253). b. No later than the final planning conference (D-90-60), ammunition authorizations will be adjusted in the Training Ammunition Management Information System (TAMIS), if required. c. No later than 60 days before the required delivery date (RDD) (that is, the start of the event), the U.S. training unit will submit an ammunition forecast to the ammunition supply point (ASP) closest to the training location (for example, Vilseck or Grafenwöhr (ASP1), Hohenfels (ASP2)). For any training conducted out of sector requiring shipment or transportation of ammunition (ASP9 (Miesau)), the out-of-sector remarks on electronic DA Form 581 should have the range name and ship-to address of the country and the name and telephone number of the POC. d. No later than 30 days before the RDD, the U.S. training unit will submit DA Form 581 through TAMIS and coordinate with the ASP for any issue requirements. The unit should submit DA Form 581 no later than 30 days before the start of the event for issues from ASP1, ASP2, and ASP7 (Italy). Non-U.S. entities acquiring U.S. ammunition through an ACSA must present approved documents to the ASP before issue. e. No later than 45 days before the RDD, the unit should submit an electronic DA Form 581 for ammunition from ASP9 for out-of-sector training and should coordinate with ASP9 for a joint verification or inventory and and for signing for the ammunition before sealing the shipping container. K-2. The POC for questions regarding training ammunition and operational load ammunition is JMTC G3 Ammunition (mil 475-8253).

APPENDIX L USAREUR REQUIREMENTS FOR FOREIGN MILITARY PARTICIPATION IN UNITED STATES ARMY JOINT MULTINATIONAL READINESS CENTER TRAINING EVENTS L-1. LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES The goal of the United States Army Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) is to train coalition interoperability by integrating platoon through company multinational (MN) units into rotations at the brigade combat team (BCT) level. JMRC can be used to spread U.S. Army training philosophy and methodology to coalition partners through visits, exchange officers, observer/controller-trainers (OC-Ts), the leadership training program, and limited unit access. JMRC, being forward-deployed, can provide critical training with NATO, NATO partners, and other coalition partners. L-2. ACCESS BY UNITS OF OTHER NATIONS a. Approval Authority. The CG, USAREUR, is the designated approval authority for the participation of other nations in U.S. rotations at JMRC and will review requests consistent with this regulation; Chief of Staff, Army (CSA), guidance; and applicable agreements with the Federal Republic of Germany or, in the case of exportable training capabilities (ETCs), other host nations. b. Criteria for Approval of Access to JMRC by Non-U.S. Units. (1) Participation of other nations in training at JMRC is prioritized for units from countries that are currently participating in overseas contingency operations and for units with some likelihood of conducting combined operations with the U.S. Forces. (2) Any participation by units of other nations in a JMRC rotation will not— (a) Displace a U.S. unit or element that needs training. (b) Jeopardize the ability of participating U.S. units to accomplish their training objectives. (c) Jeopardize the ability of the center to maintain rigor or provide appropriate feedback for participating U.S. units. (3) The other nation must agree to reimburse the U.S. for training and related support through an acquisition and cross-servicing agreement or reciprocal unit exchange. L-3. ACCESS BY INDIVIDUALS OF OTHER NATIONS TO JMRC FOR TRAINING OPERATIONS AND INTEROPERABILITY a. Long-Term Individual Access to JMRC. The CG, USAREUR, may authorize the establishment of temporary MN observer/controller-trainers (OC-Ts) to support designated coalition training at the JMRC. b. Training of Individuals. (1) Requests for individuals of other nations to participate in training at JMRC require the approval of the CG, USAREUR, and will be granted in accordance with this regulation, CSA guidance, and applicable agreements with the Federal Republic of Germany or, in the case of ETCs, other host nations.

(2) HQDA approval is not required for foreign personnel participating in an authorized military personnel exchange program (MPEP). In accordance with AR 614-10, chapter 2-1, paragraph 2-2a, HQDA has sole authority to approve MPEPs. The CG, USAREUR, however, can approve the participation of individuals supporting an MPEP. Similarly, HQDA approval is not required if a foreign individual will deploy on real-world military operations with a U.S. unit scheduled for a JMRC rotation. The individual must perform in the same capacity as during real-world military operations. L-4. VISITORS FROM OTHER NATIONS TO COMBAT TRAINING CENTERS a. Requests for individuals from other nations to visit or observe a JMRC rotation will be coordinated through that nation’s office of defense cooperation to the CG, JMTC, and the CG, USAREUR. b. Visits will not exceed 3 days, except as approved by the CG, USAREUR, to support MN OC-T or other position exchanges at the JMRC.
